Subharmonic Functions in the Unit Ball

For functions u subharmonic in the unit ball B_N of , this paper compares the growth of the repartition function of their Riesz measure μ with the growth of u near the boundary of B_N. Cases under study are: and , with A, B, γ positive constants and if N=2 or if N≥ 3. This paper contains several integral results, as for instance: when ∫_BN u⁺(x)[-ω^′(|x|²)]dx < +∞ for some positive decreasing C¹ function ω, it is proved that .

Uniformly summing sets of operators on spaces of vector–valued continuous functions

Let X, Y be Banach spaces. We say that a set is uniformly p–summing if the series is uniformly convergent for whenever (x_n) belongs to . We consider uniformly summing sets of operators defined on a -space and prove, in case X does not contain a copy of c₀, that is uniformly summing iff is, where T (φ x) = (T^#φ) x for all and x∈X. We also characterize the sets with the property that is uniformly summing viewed in . Received: 1 July 2005     

Drift to Infinity and the Strong Law for Subordinated Random Walks and Lévy Processes

We determine conditions under which a subordinated random walk of the form tends to infinity almost surely (a.s), or tends to infinity a.s., where {N(n)} is a (not necessarily integer valued) renewal process, denotes the integer part of N(n), and S_n is a random walk independent of {N(n)}. Thus we obtain versions of the Alternatives, for drift to infinity, or for divergence to infinity in the strong law, for . A complication is that is not, in general, itself, a random walk. We can apply the results, for example, to the case when N(n)= n, > 0, giving conditions for lim , a.s., and lim sup , a.s., etc. For some but not all of our results, N(1) is assumed to have finite expectation. Examples show that this is necessary for the kind of behaviour we consider. The results are also shown to hold in the same degree of generality for subordinated Lévy processes.     

Properties of Auto- and Antiautomorphisms of Maximal Chain Structures and their Relations to i-Perspectivities

Let E be a non empty set, let P : = E × E, := {x × E|x ∈ E}, := {E × x|x ∈ E}, and := {C ∈ 2 ^P |∀X ∈ : |C ∩ X| = 1} and let . Then the quadruple resp. is called chain structure resp. maximal chain structure. We consider the maximal chain structure as an envelope of the chain structure . Particular chain structures are webs, 2-structures, (coordinatized) affine planes, hyperbola structures or Minkowski planes. Here we study in detail the groups of automorphisms , , , related to a maximal chain structure . The set of all chains can be turned in a group such that the subgroup of generated by the left-, by the right-translations and by ι the inverse map of is isomorphic to (cf. (2.14)).     

Polar Graphs and Corresponding Involution Sets, Loops and Steiner Triple Systems

A 1-factorization (or parallelism) of the complete graph with loops is called polar if each 1-factor (parallel class) contains exactly one loop and for any three distinct vertices x₁, x₂, x₃, if {x₁} and {x₂, x₃} belong to a 1-factor then the same holds for any permutation of the set {1, 2, 3}. To a polar graph there corresponds a polar involution set , an idempotent totally symmetric quasigroup (P, *), a commutative, weak inverse property loop (P, + ) of exponent 3 and a Steiner triple system . We have: satisfies the trapezium axiom is self-distributive ⇔ (P, + ) is a Moufang loop is an affine triple system; and: satisfies the quadrangle axiom is a group is an affine space.     

On the rod placement theorem of Rybko and Shlosman

Given n−1 points on the real line and a set of n rods of strictly positive lengths , we get to choose an n-th point x_n anywhere on the real line and to assign the rods to the points according to an arbitrary permutation π. The rod is thought of as the workload brought in by a customer arriving at time x_k into a first in -first out queue which starts empty at − ∞. If any x_i equals x_j for i < j, service is provided to the rod assigned to x_i before the rod assigned to x_j. Let denote the set of departure times of the customers (rods). Let denote the number of choices for the location of x_n for which . Rybko and Shlosman proved that

Generalized self-duality of 2-forms

Self-dual 2–forms on play a fundamental role in gauge theory. For generalized Seiberg-Witten theory (and for some other purposes in mathematical physics) a notion of self-duality of 2–forms on is needed. There are several definitions, but the one given by [Bilge, Dereli, Ko?ak ; JMP 38(9), 1997] is intimately related with Clifford algebras. They defined a 2–form to be self-dual if the anti-symmetric matrix Ω = (ω_ij) satisfies Ω² = λ I for a scalar λ and proved that the space of such forms is non-linear with dimension n² − n + 1, but contains maximal linear subspaces with dimension the Radon-Hurwitz number of (2n). It is important to have an algorithm for construction of such maximal linear subspaces and we give an explicit one with the help of representations of Clifford algebras on whereby we show that the representations given by the standart recursion formulas are anti-symmetric.     

Propagation of oscillations to 2D incompressible Euler equations

The asymptotic expansions are studied for the vorticity to 2D incompressible Euler equations with-initial vorticity , where ϕ₀(x) satisfies |d ϕ₀(x)|≠0 on the support of and is sufficiently smooth and with compact support in ℝ² (resp. ℝ²×T) The limit,v(t,x), of the corresponding velocity fields {v ^ɛ(t,x)} is obtained, which is the unique solution of (E) with initial vorticity ω₀(x). Moreover, (ℤ²)) for all 1≽p∞, where and ϕ(t,x) satisfy some modulation equation and eikonal equation, respectively.

Let T be an M-hyponormal operator acting on infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space and let be the Riesz idempotent for λ₀, where D is a closed disk of center λ₀ which contains no other points of σ (T). In this note we show that E is self-adjoint and As an application, if T is an algebraically M-hyponormal operator then we prove : (i) Weyl’s theorem holds for f(T) for every (ii) a-Browder’s theorem holds for f(S) for every and f ∈ H(σ(S)); (iii) the the spectral mapping theorem holds for the Weyl spectrum of T and for the essential approximate point spectrum of T.     

Metric Geometry in Homogeneous Spaces of the Unitary Group of a C*-Algebra. Part II. Geodesics Joining Fixed Endpoints

This article focuses on the study of the metric geometry of homogeneous spaces (the unitary group of a C*-algebra modulo the unitary group of a C*-subalgebra ) where the invariant Finsler metric in is induced by the quotient norm of Under the assumption that is of compact type, i.e. when the unitary group is relatively compact in the strong operator topology, this work presents local and global versions of Hopf-Rinow-like theorems: given points there exists a minimal uniparametric group curve joining ρ₀ and ρ₁.     

On quadratic differences that depend on the product of arguments - revisited

Summary. Let be a field of real or complex numbers and denote the set of nonzero elements of . Let be an abelian group. In this paper, we solve the functional equation f ₁ (x + y) + f ₂ (x - y) = f ₃ (x) + f ₄ (y) + g(xy) by modifying the domain of the unknown functions f ₃, f ₄, and g from to and using a method different from [3]. Using this result, we determine all functions f defined on and taking values on such that the difference f(x + y) + f (x - y) - 2 f(x) - 2 f(y) depends only on the product xy for all x and y in

A Lower Bound on the First Spectral Gap of Schrödinger Operators with Kato Class Measures

We study Schr?dinger operators on formally given by , where μ is a positive, compactly supported measure from the Kato class. Under the assumption that a certain condition on the μ-volume of balls is satisfied and that H_μ has at least two eigenvalues below the essential spectrum , we derive a lower bound on the first spectral gap of H_μ. The assumption on the μ-volume of balls is in particular satisfied if μ is of the form , where M is a compact (n-1)-dimensional Lipschitz submanifold of , σ_M the surface measure on M, and .
